Our client, a confidential pharmaceutical player, planned to establish operations in Algeria.
The project required an end-to-end legal set-up in a highly regulated environment,
including selecting the appropriate legal vehicle, defining share capital and governance,
and securing the relevant licenses/authorizations needed to operate locally.
The key challenge was to de-risk the full incorporation and regulatory
pathway while enabling a fast operational launch.
We supported the client across the full legal and regulatory journey in Algeria, combining design and on-the-ground execution:
o Assessment of entry options (subsidiary, branch, JV/partnership) and recommendation of the optimal structure
o Selection of the legal form, definition of share capital, governance framework, and corporate powers
o Regulatory mapping (applicable requirements, competent authorities, prerequisites, sequencing, key risks)
o Drafting of a comprehensive process memo covering incorporation steps, required documentation, and compliance obligations
o Preparation/review of incorporation documentation (bylaws, corporate resolutions, mandates/powers of attorney, registers)
o Support through administrative filings and regulatory interactions up to obtaining the required authorizations, and setting up baseline compliance documentation (policies, standard clauses, governance routines)
o Successful establishment of a compliant Algerian legal structure aligned with the client’s operational and governance objectives
o Clear regulatory roadmap and reduced execution risk through end to-end legal project management
o Accelerated go-live supported by robust documentation and reusable templates for future expansion and contracting
We provide ad-hoc legal support to clients operating in Algeria for the review, negotiation,
and updating of commercial agreements (distribution, services, partnerships, procurement).
Clients typically seek to strengthen risk allocation while preserving
deal economics and enabling smooth operational delivery.
o Contract diagnostics and risk assessment
(liability, penalties, term/termination, exclusivity/territory, compliance, confidentiality/data)
o Redlining and clause drafting, including negotiation briefs and fallback positions
o Contract updates and standardization through template clauses and playbooks tailored to Algerian operating realities
o Reduced legal and operational risk through strengthened contractual protections on critical clauses
o Faster negotiation cycles via clear positions, structured redlines, and reusable templates
o Improved contract enforceability and delivery outcomes (SLA, remedies, exit mechanisms) while maintaining commercial balance
Our client is a European fast‑moving consumer goods distributor operating in 50 countries,
including all Maghreb countries and 25 sub‑Saharan African countries.
The client decided to reorganize its legal structure by relocating the parent company
to an Asian jurisdiction and streamlining the shareholding chains of its subsidiaries.
We carried out an analysis of the legal and tax implications of the proposed transactions. We also assessed the advisability of merging entities in certain countries and transferring others under different intermediate holding companies.
This work enabled us to design a new group structure that reduces the number of tiers between the parent company and its subsidiaries, limits potential tax leakage, and remains aligned with operational requirements (business‑unit organization, etc.).
Tax-Focused VDD Review Assignment
in the Healthcare Sector in Tunisia
As part of our transaction services, our firm carried out a Vendor Due Diligence (VDD) review assignment
with a predominantly tax focus for a group of clinics operating in Tunisia,
in connection with a capital opening project.
The assignment consisted of an analysis of the group’s tax situation,
the consistency of its tax filing practices, and the identification of key tax issues and risks
likely to have an impact on the transaction,
within a specific regulatory and sectoral environment.
This engagement helped improve the quality,
reliability, and clarity of the information
provided to potential investors, and facilitated the
transaction process by providing greater visibility
on the tax issues associated with the transaction.
